Modern society prides itself on progress and tech, yet one cannot help but notice how far we have fallen in everything. Except in furry porn where people still do some cool innovative art.
The ancients, for all their flaws, understood something that we have forgotten: if you are going to turn a man into a symbol, at least have the decency to admit it. That was the entry-level wisdom "basically true" thing that was done by all the artists.
The superior Greeks did not insult Chad by pretending he was ordinary. They looked at him and said "well, clearly this man cannot simply be a man. Lets narrativize him with some hero mythology BS we invent".
Today, Chad is expected to embody impossible ideals while being told that no such ideals exist. Th normies deny it all, they say "noo, I am not projecting on you, im rational, lemme explain my doomer blackpill science to you".
In ancient Greece, by contrast, the arrangement was still tragic, but had some level of wisdom and honesty to it. Alright lets admit it straightforward, its still exploitation but its artisanal and it has some level of benevolence to it. Chads still be exploited, I want to make it clear.
Chads never truly had it good in the "good ole days" but they definitely had it better in the past.
Think about it, a modern Chad receives some bitch pussy once in a while. The ancient chad received a minotaur (made him fight vs bulls and then narrativize him with invented mythology).
Which civilization truly respected excellence? Our "tech utopia progress" one or the ancient one? Its kinda provocative, obviously our civilization isnt bad, and we have some novelty insights. But yeah, there you have it, chads were having it better is my opinion.
The system was simple. Society would identify a promising young Chad, convince him that glory was the highest good, and then send him directly toward something large enough to kill him. Sounds cruel if I frame it this way, but chads survived it more often than not. And when they survived with feats of strength, he gained honor (social construct). If he died in some cool way, he gained true immortality.
Either way, the stuff was resolved already, and chad was not the problem of a bitter loser, he was welcomed and he was part of ordinary life.
Good ole days were not fair, chads were a bit pampered and protected from what awaits when you become old, but everyone understood the nature of the transaction. Chad dies, and we get a symbol. And an artist receives a masterpiece and some poet will print himself into history mythicizing a chad, city got a legend. Chads received the incomparable sum of privileges that allof this entails and then never finds out what would have happened if he lived till hes 90.
Perhaps that is why the ancient statues seem so serene, even when they are burdened with gravity.
Many centuries later, fascist tards doing macabre dancing, attempted to manufacture heroes in bulk. The statues grew larger, the jaws became more squared like lookismcellin caricatures. Entire schools of artists devoted themselves to injecting history with an industrial quantity of seriousness and fake gravitas like when dr.peterson the futile inconsequential crackhead pretends to be smart on youtube.
Yet something curious happened. The more intensely they attempted to communicate fascist ideals, the more became evident what was lost from the past. I think is tragedy, and the Chads were reconfigured as promotional ads this time. A nice lesson we should learn.
In old times, we were used to carve unrealistic expectations, not project it on humans pretending we arent doing it. We should go back to these old ways.
